Do the yogi in your life a favor and give the gift of a Manduka PRO yoga mat this holiday season. The undisputed king of yoga mats, Manduka mats are engineered to endure countless hours of yoga practice. Luxuriously dense, this mat has ample cushioning so yogis can comfortably balance on their heads or ease their way into frog pose. The slip-resistant surface prevents you from skidding and sliding all over your mat, making it great for a slick, sweaty hot yoga practice. One small caveat: The mats are bulky and slightly unwieldy, so on-the-go yogis might prefer the PRO’s slimmer cousin, the Manduka LITE.

Designed to provide ergonomic support, the chair supports a healthy back by reducing nerve compression and improving spinal alignment.

Moving Comfort Foxie Full-Zip, $125

Fashion meets function with this winning number from Moving Comfort. The Foxy full-zip jacket makes outdoor fitness during the winter months completely comfortable … good looking, even! The high neck keeps cold out, while the thumb loops keep the sleeves in place, crucial for preventing a winter chill from sneaking up your arms. Easy-zip pockets are perfect for stowing Kleenex or lip balm, while the Moving Comfort reflective logo on the back provides an added safety measure during dusk runs. Available in four color schemes.
Keen Hoodoo II, $150

If your winter fitness plans have you slope-side, make sure you pack your Keen Hoodoo II boots. The perfect post-ski footwear, the insulated boots feature moisture-wicking linings and soft (and good-looking!) Sherpa-wool cuffs. Perhaps the most impressive feature is the KEEN.Warm insulation, which in layman’s terms means that your feet will stay super warm without the need for heavy material that can cause sweaty feet. Rubber soles and waterproof nubuck leather add to the durability, while the feminine stitched design make them every girl’s favorite gift!
